I got home to find my husband still a mess and moaning over the toilet bowl. Fun times. (This is where I should mention that I was Lysolling everything that he might have touched within the last year... don't want sick kids for the holidays and certainly don't want ME sick 11 days before my marathon.) I figured that I was on my own today, so I worked to rush the kids to get ready and get out the door. Patrick goes to school early on Tuesday and Thursday for Spelling Bee practice (yes, he's a little nerd just like his mommy was). Anyhow, I dropped him early and then took the girls to breakfast. Then I took Lily back to school.
Considering I was still soaked in sweat from earlier that morning, but I didn't want to disturb Peter while he was sleeping, the only real option was to go to the gym. So that's where I went. I limited myself to 6 miles. I had already done 4.5, and I'm in taper. I was ok with doing a slightly longer combined distance because I didn't run Friday, Saturday, OR Sunday this past weekend... and my run Monday was pitiful (I barely made it through 3.5 miles).
1100 in 2011?
1231 by 12/31?
1500 just to see how crazy I can get? (which I completely think I could do if my summer training didn't fall off so much)
Did you have a mileage goal this year? Have you met it?

my goal for 2010 was 1500 miles and right now I'm at 1494!
You rock Lesley! I saw that 1000 mile challenge a little too late this year and will fall short nearly 100 miles. Not too shabby though for only running 9 months in 2010. I am definitely on board for 1100 in 2011! Congrats on making your goal!!!!!
i think i had a mileage goal this year. but i can't remember. in any case i'm sure i hit as i've run lots of miles so far this year.
congrats on hitting your goal. and whoooooooooo double run :) taper whaaaaaaaaaat? hahah
So sorry that hubby is sick! No one can stay well with the weather we've had.
My run this morning was sweaty drippy too and I couldn't quite get a grip on my breathing. The humidity was terrible. So I turned 3 miles into 2 and said - forget it. But was happy I ran them in under 10 per mile.
Keep on Lysol-ing....no sickness for WR!!
Congrats on reaching your goal! Hope hubby feels better soon.
I hope Hubbs is feeling better soon.
Great job on the double and hitting your mileage goal!
I did exceed my too. I was aiming for 2010 for the year but I am beyond that now. It may be a 5 year high until 12/31.
Enjoy your holiday!
Congrats!!!! Awesome!
I did have a goal of hitting 1200 miles this year but that isn't going to happen. I am now struggling just trying to get to 1000. I could happen ;)
That's awesome! Aren't you proud of yourself? :)
I hope your husband is better asap and that you don't get it!!!
Congrats on hitting your goal! My goal was to run 500 miles, which I exceeded in my 18 weeks of marathon training. (But I didn't exactly plan to run a marathon this year either....) I have 3 marathons in my sights next year so I think I can hit 1,000 in 2012.
All the best to you on your marathon! I hope you do fly up for MCM next year.
(I hope your husband is okay.)
Boo for a sick hubby but yay for all that mileage!! Congrats! :)
awww hope the hubs feels better soon! I have have 250 miles left before I reach 1,600miles. =(
Congrats on breaking 1000. I'm already way over my cycling goal (will exceed 3500 wanted 3000 miles) and on track for my swimming goal (150,000 yards), but I think I'm going to fall about 30 miles short of 1000 running miles, which is what I was going for. I dunno, I was going to sit down this weekend and see if I can't make it up in December on the running side.
You are so freaking cool! Congrats to you! I'm going to try to steal some of your coolness in February, FYI. You have enough to spare.
I keep seeing people with goals. I think once I get through December, and I get asses my running abilities, I will set a goal, too! No idea what that would be just yet. But I feel like a goal will really help me to not be a slacker!
I've increased my mileage enough that I "think" I can shoot for 1000 in 2011. I will have to see how this winter training stuff goes before I can commit.
Congrats on hitting your mileage goal for the year!! I haven't set a mileage goal before but I have been inspired by seeing so many people do it that I plan to do it for 2011!
Hope your hubby feels better soon and you and the kiddos don't get sick!!
I think your marathon is 1 week before mine...enjoy your taper time!
Stay far from all the germ carriers! Congratulations for the 1000 miles, awesome! My goal is 3000km (1860miles) for 2010. I'll reach it in the next two weeks and will then go for 2000 miles this year.
